Worst bit of television ever...EV-RRRRR!
So I laid low last night cause until I start work I'm broke. Not sure how or why I started watching it but the Eurovision 2006 Song Contest was on. I think it was some other guy in our room watching it and no one had enough energy to change the channel.
I'm not sure what the exact premise of the contest was but a bunch of european countries presented songs, all with bad lyrics, poor beats and dancing presentations reminiscent of a 7 year olds impression of the crap that is typically only found in commonwealth games opening ceremonies. Actually, scratch that. Involving a dancing 7 year old would have given the show a little bit of credit and imagination.
After all the countries presented their songs, we next had to sit through a larger number of european countries voting for their favourites. This was especially dragged out and horrible as they gave out a list of points from 1-7, then had the big point nominees for 8, 10, and 12 points. When the 12 point nominee was named they would cut to a camera covering the performing act happy backstage. This went on for every bloody country in Europe. I'm not really sure how accurate this contest could be, as most of the countries took time to blow their neighbours a 'kiss' and nominate them for the big points. All the former Yugoslav republics hugged each other and the former Russians did the same. The only fresh act was the winner, Finland, who dressed as crazy monsters of rock. I missed the song the first time they played it so I was pulling for them just because they didn't do any ballroom dancing or artistic crap that every other song touted.
But when they did win and took the stage for an encor, they did not play an energy packed Rammstein-esque kickass rock ballad, but a piece of crap rock song that would have been hard pressed to win at a highschool talent show.
It was such a bad show that I had to write about it. It is also a confession, in that I am admitting that I watched it. But let it be known, that had I had more energy, and not napped through most of it, I would have changed the channel or left the room. Maybe.
Or maybe it was one of those 'it's so bad it's funny moments'...
